Retouching skin can be a time-consuming endeavor, but good news me and Affinity Photo are here to bring you some awesome solutions that will get you retouching skin in no time at all.

The 3 steps I show here today will work on other programs like photoshop but Affinity Photo makes it so easy you gotta check it out. Now I am sure there are people out there that could do a much better job at retouching skin than i can, but this video isn’t for them. This video is for people who are on a deadline, making websites or graphics and need to know how to do a little bit of retouching without breaking the bank of time.

Step 1: Frequency Separation
basically splitting the image into varying levels of definition

Step 2: Image Correction
using all the amazing tools that Affinity/Photoshop has to offer you can start retouching the photo pretty quickly to get the result you want. Blemish removal tool, clone stamp tool, etc…

Step 3: Color Correction
This is the equivalent of putting foundation on the subject and evening out the skin from those red splotchy areas. Just use lots of color adjustments, layer masks and be aware of the contrasting colors.

That’s it!!! I know so simple right 🙂
